| Abstract: A flexible solid-state resistor comprises a string of ceramic resistors
that can be used to charge the capacitors of a linear transformer driver
(LTD) used in a pulsed power machine. The solid-state resistor is able to
absorb the energy of a switch prefire, thereby limiting LTD cavity
damage, yet has a sufficiently low RC charge time to allow the capacitor
to be recharged without disrupting the operation of the pulsed power
machine. |
